Classic Guacamole Avocado

Carefully halve the ripe Hass avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the creamy flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Discard the skins.

Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado flesh to your desired consistency. Some prefer it chunky, others smoother. Avoid over-mashing to keep some texture.

To the mashed avocado, add the fresh lime juice, finely diced white onion, and minced serrano pepper. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.

Sprinkle in the chopped fresh cilantro and sea salt. Mix all the ingredients gently until they are well combined, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt, a squeeze more lime juice, or extra serrano for a spicier kick, according to your preference.

Transfer the classic guacamole to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro or a thin slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a side with your favorite Mexican dishes.
